I am not debating opinion, you can't debate opinion, I am trying to point out facts. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 22/11/2012 05:29:24 PM
.. You definately don't construct public policy over it. It would be like debating a law against going outside when it is raining due to the risk of lightning, hitting your left pinkie toe.


Sorry but that is a ludicrous argument. If legalising a fairly simple operation would save, say, ten lives a year, would you oppose it?



The problem is that for every life that it theoretically "saves" a different life is lost. Additionally, it is not really a 1:1 because not every mother would necessarily die, but every single child does.

As I have said over and over again, there is no good absolute solution on this issue, just a bunch of bad ones.

That argument is specious - 16/11/2012 08:36:07 PM 496 Views
But you cannot call another living person an "environment." Only for parasites. - 16/11/2012 10:16:18 PM 459 Views

It illustrates that the "life of the mother" argument is rare to the point of irrelevance. *NM* - 18/11/2012 07:45:36 PM 263 Views
And yet this case makes it irrefutably relevant. *NM* - 20/11/2012 05:18:23 PM 243 Views
No, it really does not. Because the situation is so rare as to not be worth even discussing... - 21/11/2012 03:24:01 PM 487 Views
